Homeowners could find that taking out a fixed-rate low-rate mortgage is an ideal option for them, it has been suggested.

And for those concerned about being careful with their spending, home insurance may be a wise investment to protect against financial trouble in the future.

Chief operating officer at Alexander Hall, Andy Pratt, said that taking out a fixed-rate deal could help people keep track of their money.

"If you can secure yourself on that, on a three or four-year deal then you know exactly what's going to happen and you can control your spending," he commented.

According to Moneyfacts.co.uk, the average bank's two-year fixed-rate mortgage deal is 4.66 per cent at the moment.

More mortgages are currently being approved, according to Bank of England figures released this month.

In February, 31,791 mortgages were approved, with that number rising to 37,937 this month.

Home insurance from InsureandGo offers homeowners cover that is both comprehensive and low-cost.
